Oregon Coast flying
Posted on June 08, 2012 in Maren Ludwig
Went to go flying yesterday at a place just inland of the Oregon Coast and had such a great time with a group of five of us all flying Parajet motors!
Double the fun!

Last week was the French Open held this year near Moulins in central France. I arrived midday on the Saturday to find fellow team pilot Deano had saved me a good pitch as near to the airfield as possible so hopefully less walking for us and the other 5 British pilots that had made the trip out.
Great fun along the Columbia River

Got several really great flights in this afternoon. Launching and landing in a field by the mouth of the Columbia River, overlooking not only the Columbia, but also the coastline a few miles away and Astoria in the background.
Morning flight with the Zenith

Got a nice motor flight in this morning just a little ways inland from the coast. Really pretty flying over all these yellow patches with the scotch broom blooming bright yellow.
Two weeks of greatness!

With another flyable weekend forecast, I headed off early to catch up with Deano who was busy training TV adventurer Charlie Boorman at Parajet HQ. The day ended up being very thermic and wasn’t ideal for Charlie’s first flight so he had to make do with ground handing and soaking up the summer rays.
A break in the weather
Posted on May 15, 2012 in Dean Eldridge
Despite the recent chilly, wet and windy weather, we’ve still managed to find mornings or afternoons favourable for conducting ground training and getting people in the air safely. Saturday morning we had Charlie Boorman down for his second training session and is now ready to take to the skies on his next trip down to see us. Phil Jennings also arrived on Saturday and brought some great weather with him so, with some local pilots and some of the Parajet crew we had around 10 Parajet pilots together zooming around the Dorset countryside in the evening before all heading to the pub!
On Tupper the World at Beach Blast
Posted on May 10, 2012 in Glenn Tupper
Beachblast is in full swing, today is Thursday and loads of people should arrive. There are already at least 100 pilots here and the Parajet and Paramania team have been having a literal blast showing off our stuff. Once the crew was assembled it was game time, Pascal, Paco, and myself have been putting on shows for the onlookers as well as for the local news channel.
